Generally, yes.
The lay-man's translation of something that is ferrous is "it contains iron". Substances containing iron are commonly magnetic. One good example is black rust - called ferrous oxide. Careful, though, since red rust - called ferric oxide - is NOT magnetic.

Is 303 stainless steel ferrous or non-ferrous?
303 Stainless is a ferrous metal it is steel that contains nickel and chromium. It is not magnetic-but it is still ferrous!
Is cobalt a ferrous metal?
No, cobalt does not contain iron and the definition of a ferrous material means containing iron. Ferrum comes from the latin word meaning iron.However, cobalt is magnetic, it is one of the few magnetic non-ferrous metals.
What types of components can you separate by magnetic separation?
ferrous ones
What does ferrous mean?
A ferrous material is one which is a bivalent iron compound. It is more common to refer to materials as non-ferrous - i.e metals that do not contain iron. Ferrous materials tend to be magnetic materials
Is brass drawing pin magnetic?
Not if it is solid brass. Brass is a non-ferrous metal, and therefore, not magnetic.
Is die-cast magnetic?
No, die cast materials are non-ferrous. Only ferrous metals can be magnetic
Is copper ferrous?
it produces a magnetic field. i think that if current is passed through the wire it can attract pieces of iron
Is 303 stainless steel ferrous or non-ferrous?
303 Stainless is a ferrous metal it is steel that contains nickel and chromium. It is not magnetic-but it is still ferrous!
Is Iron ferrous?
Yes, it's magnetic
Is chrome magnetic?
Chromium is not ferrous as it does not contain iron, it is an element.
What are the advantages of ferrous metals?
list down the advantages of ferrous-magnetic material in transformer application
What are oxides of magnetic materials?
feric oxid and ferrous cxides are the oxides of magnetic matrial
Ferrous metal properties?
They contain iron and are magnetic
Is aluminum magnetic'?
No. Only ferrous metals can be magnetized
What are ferrous metal and non ferrous?
Ferrous metals contain ferrite (Iron) whereas non-ferrous metals don't contain any Iron and are usually non-magnetic
What is the experiments and shop test for Identifying Ferrous and nonferrous Metals and alloys?
Get a magnet, Magnets stick to ferrous metals, and do not stick to non-ferrous metals. Metals containing iron are ferrous (iron's chemical symbol: Fe). You use iron filings to see the lines of magnetic flux. Pure iron is as ferrous as you can get! Pure copper, on the other hand, is non-ferrous AND non-magnetic.
Is cobalt a ferrous metal?
No, cobalt does not contain iron and the definition of a ferrous material means containing iron. Ferrum comes from the latin word meaning iron.However, cobalt is magnetic, it is one of the few magnetic non-ferrous metals.
